After getting an anonymous call, deputies said they tracked down a fugitive in Raceland.They got the call Tuesday from someone who said Roger Campbell, 28, of Drachenbourg Trailer Park, No. 29, Raceland, was at a home on Dantin Street, the Lafourche Sheriff’s Office said. He was arrested that afternoon.Campbell had four active warrants for his arrest on aggravated battery that he was charged with in April and three contempt of court charges, deputies said.On Tuesday, deputies didn’t find him at the home on Dantin when they first arrived, the Sheriff’s Office said. While on scene, deputies noticed a man standing near a St. Phillip Street home who matched Campbell’s description.When he realized deputies spotted him, he ran away, deputies said.Deputies said they began searching the area and found out Campbell fled back into the Dantin Street house.Deputies called for backup and formed a perimeter around the area. Campbell came out of the house and was arrested.The aggravated battery warrant stemmed from an April 10 incident in which he’s accused of hitting a man with a wooden board and causing a brain hemorrhage, deputies said. That allegedly happened at a home on Greenville Street in Raceland.The victim was taken to a New Orleans-area hospital and placed in intensive care, deputies said. He was treated and released a few days later.
